I love that have this place here to honor the memory of a remarkable woman, a beloved wife, mother, friend, and grandmother. She was an incredible force of nature whose laugh could light up a room and whose spirit was an endless well of joy and energy. Her zest for life was truly unmatched, and she brought fun and love into every moment she lived.
When I think of her and Jim, I think of home. A home filled with warmth, laughter, and the kind of love that only grows stronger with time. They shared a bond that was a beacon of strength and devotion, setting an example for all of us.
If I were to choose one word to describe her, it would be courageous. She faced life's challenges with a bravery that inspired everyone around her. Her courage was not just in the big moments, but in the everyday acts of love, kindness, and perseverance that defined her life.
Her legacy is alive and well through Jim, Skyler, Cassie, and her precious grandkids. They carry her spirit forward, reminding us daily of the incredible woman she was. Though she is no longer with us, her love and strength continue to touch our lives in profound ways.
I find comfort in knowing she is with Jesus now, watching over us, waiting for the day we will all be reunited. Until that time comes, we will cherish the memories we have of her, and strive to live with the same courage, joy, and love that she exemplified.
She will forever be missed, but her legacy will live on in our hearts and in the lives of those she loved so deeply. We are grateful for the time we had with her and for the beautiful mark she left on our lives.
Rest in peace, dear friend. Thank you for everything.
